Love List-24; McMansions and a great 2020 ornament

We are still in full-on Christmas-mode here at SweetPhi and have a few more great gift ideas if you’re still looking.  Or if you’re just looking for a good laugh, check out a few hilarious commercials and fun article finds we’re sharing in this week’s Love List.

Weekly love list - Christmas wreath

  1. This commercial is SO FUNNY.
  2. Crazy mesmerizing cakes I could watch all day

    Weekly love list, Phi's picks
    Cakes | Nail polish
  3. I love Zoya nail polish – this color is so festive for the holidays without being too ‘in your face’ bright.  This is my favorite nail polish brand because I’ve found that it stays on the longest and has a great color selection.
  4. Have you ever heard of McMansion Hell? They make fun of big McMasions. This one made me laugh, thank Nick for sharing this.

Bridget’s Picks

Weekly love list, Bridget's Picks
Aprons | Book 1 | Book 2 | Scratch-off Poster
  1. We’re baking this weekend!  I love what Phi does with her thoughtful cookie boxes, so we’re doing something similar.  And, gift sneak peak – I got my son and I these adorable matching aprons for Christmas because he loves to bake!
  2. I love learning about different Christmas traditions around the world (I particularly love the 13 Yule Lads in Iceland and jól in Denmark).  If you’re looking to teach your kids a little about them, this book or this one are a great place to start.
  3. Saw this and thought it would be a great gift idea for a partner.  It looks like you can also get a books version and a few other fun ones.
  4. Phi’s commercial made me remember how much I love SNL commercials!  This one is my favorite at the holidays!  (also VERY relatable – I laughed out loud multiple times).

Weekly Love List, Alyssa's Picks
Ornament | Blanket
  1. I thought this was so cool especially since it’s during the holiday season! I always miss seeing things like this or forget they are happening but I think this one would be especially cool to see during Christmas time!
  2. I think these ornaments are so cute and a little funny. I think we will all remember this year no matter what, but I these would make a cute gift!
  3. I put this blanket on my Christmas list in the marled gray color! I recently bought their comforter and wanted a little something to go on top so I got a King size to make it extra cozy and oversize!

Storage containers and finding the right ones that work for me has been a complete game changer!

Not only do I use containers as mixing bowls/etc but I also use them for food storage and for photography props!

I forgot where I read it, but it was something abo I forgot where I read it, but it was something about 'normalizing normal/slightly ugly/normal kitchens' and that resonated with me. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we moved into our house, my original thought was "I absolutely love the house, but maybe we'll redo the kitchen in 5 years to be all white" 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why though? Because everyone else is doing that and it's 'cool'?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After having lived in our house for 6+ months, now the most I have dreams of doing is maybe to redo the laminate countertops that are peeling in some places. Maybe. One day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this isn't some before/after post. It's just a post about saying your kitchen/home is fine the way it is, and if you don't have some pinterest board or desire to change your entire kitchen, that's a-ok.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE looking at beautiful kitchens and spaces, so I'll just continue adding pretty images to my weekly love-lists and leaving it there - for looking at pretty things vs. wishing to change my house or feeling bad about my kitchen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Personally, I love my house. It feels homey and welcoming, and that's the vibe I'm going to keep going with.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Weekly love list on the blog, not kitchen related, but you can read it with a cup of coffee from whatever kitchen you’re in 👉🏻 https://sweetphi.com/love-list-29/

Chicken and quinoa are a favorite combo of mine be Chicken and quinoa are a favorite combo of mine because I can get two servings of protein in one delicious meal; quinoa and chicken. And there’s Greek yogurt in this recipe so more protein!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This 5 ingredient healthy slow cooker buffalo chicken and quinoa is comforting, delicious and healthy all at the same time. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PLUS, it’s great for meal prepping and is an easy crock pot recipe! So many wins in one recipe 🤩
